Export Options
Choose a Pattern file, preview it, and understand export limits
Export the Pattern you have applied in the Workbench. Start with the format that matches what you want to do with the result.
Need a Perler pattern to print? Start in the Perler Bead Pattern Maker, check the bead colors and counts, then return here to choose a file format.
A Pro Project example: choose the export type on the left, then review its preview and settings before the final action.
How to Export
- Continue a Project from Dashboard, or finish a Pattern in the Workbench.
- Confirm image changes in Compare. For pending Pattern settings or colors, click Update in the left panel. Click Export in the Workbench header.
- Choose a format on the left, then review its settings and preview. On a narrow screen, use Export type and the Preview / Settings tabs.
- Click the final Export action to download the file or, for PDF, open your browser's print window. If prompted, sign in or resolve the stated plan restriction first.
Opening the dialog, switching formats, and previewing use no export allowance. If you sign in at the final step, Beadify returns to the same Project or local draft with the selected format restored.

Allowance and Availability
Signed-in Free makers have 3 exports per UTC day, shared across all five formats. Each Free export must use Boards mode with one physical board and no more than 16 used colors. Exact size, multiple boards, and more colors require Pro or Lifetime. Paid plans also have unlimited exports. The dialog shows any restriction before you use an export.
Each format guide explains its controls and result. Free exports retain format-appropriate Beadify branding; paid plans can hide it where supported. Only Image can optionally save a copy of the downloaded image to Image Assets; its choice applies to this export only.
For physical size and the browser print step, use the PDF guide.
Photo to Coloring Page has its own PNG download and browser Print / Save as PDF flow. Those actions do not use Pattern export allowance.
